MySQL MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Discover database schema and available tables before composing queries or planning data access.

• 2

  Read sample rows or inspect table contents safely to inform analysis or answer questions about the data.

• 3

  Execute ad-hoc SQL queries with centralized error handling and logging while enforcing environment-based credentials and least-privilege access.

Description

This project implements an MCP server to enable safe, structured interaction between AI assistants and MySQL databases. It exposes operations to list available tables, read table contents, and run SQL queries with error handling and logging. Configuration is handled via environment variables and the server is distributed under an open-source MIT license. The design emphasizes least-privilege access, auditing, and ease of integration with agents such as Claude Desktop.
